(Frederick Jackson) The Character and Influence of the Indian Trade in Wisconsin Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Taavi Kalju and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Character and Influence of the Indian Trade in Wisconsin" by Frederick J. Turner is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the essential role of trading posts and the Indian trade in shaping the economic and social landscape of Wisconsin, particularly throughout the two centuries following the first contact with European settlers. The book presents a detailed analysis of the trading practices, cultural exchanges, and the dynamics between indigenous tribes and European traders. The opening of the study presents a comprehensive introduction to the significance of trading posts as institutions that facilitated economic interaction between more advanced civilizations and primitive societies, ultimately influencing both. Turner discusses the historical context of trade, tracing early inter-tribal commerce among the Native Americans prior to European arrival and the subsequent impact of European traders. He highlights the initial trading systems established by the French and later dynamics involving English and American influences, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of how these interactions transformed Native American communities and the region's economic landscape. The foundational concepts are laid out to drive the discussion on the evolving nature of trade and its lasting implications on Wisconsin's indigenous tribes and settlers.
